REVITALIZING
GLEN STOR DUN LODGE
FOUNDATION
By Linda Geisel
After reviewing the Term of Reference, the
group struck two committees to set the
work of revitalization in motion. The
Executive Committee was voted in by the
group. Denis Thibault accepted the role of
the Chair and Rick Shaver will serve as the
Vice-Chair. Paul Scrimshaw was
nominated in absentia for the position of
Treasurer.
The Nominating Committee consists of
Bernie Thauvette and Margaret Gordon.
Bernie has since then resigned citing his
interest lies mainly in the work of the
Family Council and the delivery of the
popular Millionaire's Club quiz program.
On Tuesday, February 10, 2015, a group of
interested people met to plan for the
revival of the Glen Stor Dun Lodge
Foundation.
The Foundation was
established in 2002 with the goal to
generate fund for the support of Residents'
quality of life initiatives.
The membership drive to recruit Board
members continues. Anyone interested in
serving on the Glen Stor Dun Lodge
F ou n da t i on p l e a se con t a ct N or m
Quenneville, Administrator for details. An
annual general meeting is being organized
and we welcome everyone to attend and
learn more about the Foundation.
In attendance were original Board
members Marg Exley and Gera Leblanc.
Joining this steering committee were also
Denis Thibault, Rick Shaver, Denise
Symington, Margaret Gordon and Bernie
Thauvette. Staff members present were
Norm Quenneville, Shareen McNaughton
and Linda Geisel.

Life at the Lodge
Valentine’s Day was made extra special
when our young friends from East Front
Public School visited.
The children
brought special craft projects and everyone
enjoyed the gathering.
Heather Taylor got a hug and a valentine
card from this young lady.
Marc Dicaire had a surprise visit from his
good friend and Physiotherapy Aide
Morgan Leroux. Morgan brought a bundle
of joy that brought a big smile to Marc's
face. Owen, is Morgan's new born son and
he is also the grandson of Joanne
MacDonald, PTA at the Lodge.
Emerson and Lillian Masson were
surrounded by these there active spirits.
Theresa Lauzon, a new resident to the
Lodge, found herself making new friends
with these two handsome young lads.
What a way to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Resident Trivia Games Popular Event
There is always a big crowd when it comes
to games of all kinds. Trivia games are no

Due to an unforeseen outbreak of
influenza, we reluctantly changed our
annual Christmas meal to January 30. It
turned out to be a successful event and we

Caregiver Corner
The New Family's Experience
“A bed at Glen-Stor Dun
Lodge is available….you
have 24 hours to make your
decision…and if you turn
the bed down, you get
taken off the list for six
months, and then have to
start the waiting process all over again.”
With these words from the worker at the
Community Care Access Centre, your
family's journey into long-term care
begins.
You will get a feel for the comings and
goings of the home…the schedules, the
routines, the activity calendar…how the
home functions on a week to week basis.
You will learn how to track down lost
laundry, solve problems, and who to talk to
when your loved one is not eating or
sleeping well. You'll get a sense of the
expectations of the home, such as how to
establish home visits, or how to sign him
out for outings or sign him back in upon
your return.
Somewhere along the way, your
relationship with your loved one changed.
Somehow your role of caregiver began to
take over your role of daughter, son or
spouse. Your new role will bring about
many changes in your life.
Your
relationship with your relative will change.
You won't be doing the same things for
him, nor will you be relating in the same
way or having the same responsibilities.
How you live your day and plan your time
will change.
You also will learn about
expectations…expectations of the care that
the workers will provide for your loved
one, and their expectations of you as a
family member. You will also evolve as
you figure out your new role! Even though
your experience is very different—it is
different to be the resident as opposed to
the family member—you go through the
adjustment process at the same time…it is a
family journey.
You will also have a whole new set of
relationships. You will slowly get to know
the nurses, the PSWs, the Social Worker,
recreation staff and the folks from
administration. You will get to know the
other residents, their families and the
volunteers that add richness to the care at
the home.
You will also develop a
relationship with “the system.”
6 Lodger March 2015
So as you get used to your loved one's new
home, you are in the middle of a process,
not at the end. This is the beginning of a
new chapter in your life and in the life of
your loved one.
You are transitioning,
and you will come to face new
opportunities and new challenges.
Learning who to speak with and building
trust and healthy rapport will be critical to
your adjustment.
by Craig Smith
You will also slowly but surely be able to
hand over some of the care responsibility
and burden as you come to trust and
believe in the care that our team is able to
provide. You are no longer alone in your
care journey…you are bonding with a team
that will help you along the way!
God Bless…

Red is the Rose
Irish love song
Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And faire is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the
Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
T'was down by Killarney's green woods
that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were
shinning
And the moon shone its rays on her
locks of golden hair.
And she swore she'd be my love
forever.
Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And faire is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the
Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
It's not for the parting that my sister
pains
It's not for the grief of my mother
It is all for the loss of my bonnie Irish
Lassy
That my heart is breaking forever.

Joyeux Copains
Fête de la Saint-Patrick
Le personnage de saint Patrick
Évangélisateur de l'Irlande, saint Patrick
aurait expliqué le concept de la Sainte
Trinité aux Irlandais lors d'un sermon au
Roc de Cashel grâce à un trèfle, en faisant
ainsi le symbole de l'Irlande (l'emblème
officiel du pays étant la harpe celtique). La
légende raconte que c'est à ce moment-là
qu'il chasse tous les serpents du pays,
action qui symbolise la conversion du
peuple irlandais les serpents représentent
les croyances polythéistes celtiques des
irlandais, assimilées à Satan, rendu
responsable de l'ignorance du Dieu
véritable. Chaque année, les hommes
d'Irlande mettent un trèfle à la boutonnière
pour se souvenir de cet enseignement.
Saint-David au Pays de Galles, à la SaintAndrew en Écosse ou à la Saint-Yves en
Bretagne. Cependant, ce jour du calendrier
liturgique n'a jamais fait l'objet d'un acte de
la part de l'État irlandais pour en faire sa
fête nationale, qui célébrerait la Nation
irlandaise.
La perception à l'étranger…
La fête de Saint-Patrick est célébrée par les
Irlandais du monde entier, expatriés ou
descendants des nombreux émigrants, et
La Saint-Patrick n'est pas la fête
nationale
Contrairement à une croyance populaire
répandue, notamment à cause d'un
phénomène de simplification de la part des
étrangers et des médias, la Saint-Patrick
n'est pas la fête nationale irlandaise. L'État
d'Irlande ne possède pas de fête nationale
au sens propre du terme (comme le 14
juillet en France, qui a été décrété par l'État
français en 1880 et qui célèbre la Nation).
Il s'agit d'une fête religieuse adoptée par
l'Église chrétienne au début du XVIIe
siècle, jour férié en Irlande (Irlande et
Irlande du Nord) et dans l'île de
Montserrat, et qui est très observée par les
Irlandais. Elle est comparable en ce sens à la
8 Lodger March 2015
sa popularité s'étend aujourd'hui vers les
non-Irlandais qui participent aux festivités
et se réclament « Irlandais pour un jour ».
Les célébrations font généralement appel à
la couleur verte et à tout ce qui appartient à
la culture irlandaise : la fête de SaintPatrick telle que pratiquée aujourd'hui voit
les participants, qu'ils soient chrétiens ou
pas, porter au moins un vêtement avec du
vert, assister à des « parades », consommer
des plats et des boissons irlandaises, en
particulier des boissons alcoolisées (bières
et stout irlandaises, comme la Murphy's,
Smithwick's, Harp ou Guinness, ou des
whiskeys, des cidres irlandais, des Irish
coffee).

PRIERE A SAINT JOSEPH, POUR LE MOIS DE MARS
Préservez-nous, ô Père très aimant, de
toute souillure d'erreur et de corruption,
soyez-nous favorable, ô notre très
puissant libérateur. Du haut du ciel,
assistez-nous dans le combat que nous
livrons à la puissance des ténèbres ; et de
même que vous avez arraché autrefois
l'Enfant-Jésus au péril de la mort,
défendez aujourd'hui la sainte Eglise de
Dieu, des embûches de l'ennemi et de
toute adversité. Couvrez chacun de nous
de votre perpétuelle protection, afin que,
à votre exemple, et soutenus par votre
secours, nous puissions vivre saintement,
pieusement mourir, et obtenir la
béatitude éternelle. Ainsi soit-il.
Nous recourons à vous dans notre
tribulation, ô bienheureux Joseph : et,
après avoir imploré le secours de votre
sainte Épouse, nous sollicitons aussi avec
confiance votre patronage.
Par l'affection qui vous a uni à la Vierge
Immaculée, Mère de Dieu ; par l'amour
paternel, dont vous avez entouré
l'Enfant-Jésus, nous vous supplions de
regarder avec bonté l'héritage que JésusChrist a conquis au prix de son sang, et de
nous assister de votre puissance et de
votre secours, dans nos besoins.
Protégez, ô très sage gardien de la divine
Famille, la race élue de Jésus-Christ.

Something to think about during
Lent.. Love in action
Photo courtesy of Timeline Photo
One night a man came to our house and
told me, “There is a family with eight
children. They have not eaten for days,” I
took some food and I went. When I finally
came to the family, I saw the faces of those
little children disfigured by hunger. There
was no sorrow or sadness in their faces,
just the deep pain of hunger. I gave the rice
to the mother. She divided it in two, and
went out, carrying half the rice with her.
When she came back, I asked her, “Where
did you go?” She gave me this simple
answer, “To my neighbors-they are
hungry also.”
I was not surprised that she gave–because
poor people are generous. But I was
surprised that she knew they were hungry.
As a rule, when we are suffering, we are so
focused on ourselves we have no time for
others.

Special Feature
Dementia Caregiver Asks the
Community to ReThink Dementia
When Ottawa resident Rose Ann's
husband was diagnosed with dementia
three years ago, the change in their lives
was confusing and overwhelming.
Nothing can prepare you for what lies
ahead," says Rose Ann. "I was exhausted
from worry and anticipation of what was
next. My husband did not believe there was
anything wrong. So it was up to me to get
the answers.”
The Alzheimer Society was initially Rose
Ann's source of information. She accessed
helpful education through its First Link®
Learning Series, and benefited from a
support group especially tailored to wives
of people diagnosed with dementia.
But like so many other people dealing with
dementia, Rose Ann believes that much
more needs to be done to spread
information about dementia and to help
people to understand it.
"People need to be better informed to
improve the quality of life for those with
12 Lodger March 2015
dementia, and their families. We need to
make dementia acceptable in the
community, not something to hide!" she
says passionately. "Let's show the public
how they can help, rather than running
away from something they don't
understand.”
That's why Rose Ann is helping as a
volunteer advisor with a new dementia
awareness program called ReThink
Dementia funded by the Champlain Local
Health Integration Network (CLHIN) as
part of its Integrated Model of Dementia
Care. The ReThink Dementia campaign is
a project of the Champlain Dementia
Network (CDN) being led by the
Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew
County as well as the Alzheimer Society of
Cornwall & District.
The CDN is reaching out to all the
communities in its catchment area
(including Cornwall and District, Ottawa,
Renfrew County and parts of Lanark and
Leeds Grenville) to build awareness of
dementia.
In a 2015 survey of Champlain area
households, 87% of respondents said that
they are at least somewhat familiar with
the disease called dementia, and about
65% understood that dementia is not a
normal part of aging. But less than 50% are
confident that there is good support in the
community for people living with
dementia.
Rethink Dementia
The ReThink Dementia campaign is
designed to enhance the public's
understanding of dementia, and to make it
easier for people to get information and
support when they are dealing with it. It is
also designed to increase awareness of
brain health, and prevention.
The ReThink Dementia campaign will
make substantial use of the internet and
social media to provide information and
sources of support for the public. A pivotal
part of the campaign is a concise ReThink
Dementia website that will help people to
easily find the information they need about
dementia.
younger generation must take charge.
If dementia can be understood, and talked
about as openly as cancer is, that will lead
us out of the dark ages," she says. "The
ReThink Dementia campaign will help to
eliminate myths and misconceptions about
the disease and make the world a friendlier
place for people who are living with
dementia.”
Visit:
www.rethinkdementia.ca or
www.demencesonyrepense.ca.
"This is the most effective way for us to
spend the limited program resources," says
Rose Ann. "This way, we can reach as many
people as possible, and measure if we are
being successful in getting the message
across.
The internet is being used more frequently
by more people," she says "and it's an easy
way to access a lot of information quickly.
The website that we've developed is an
excellent search tool for people who need
answers to their questions.
Personally, I don't use social media, but
our children and grandchildren do. It's
imperative that they have easy access to
reliable and up-to-date information about
this dreadful disease. As we age, the

Ontario Senior Games
“Here we go again! Catch us if you can.
We gotta get a move on… going to have
some more fun at the Winter Senior Games
this year”.
Alex Herrington, Support Services
Supervisor and Stephanie Hill-Nicholls,
retired Nutrition Care Supervisor,
competed again in the Ontario Senior
Games 55 +. Alex's hockey team, Cornwall
Blades, won a bronze medal in 2013 and
went on to compete in the Canada Senior
Games in Edmonton in 2014. They won
their final C division game with a 7-0 score.
I competed in the downhill slalom race and
won a bronze medal in 2013.
A little bit about the Ontario Senior
Games 55+
The first Senior Games were called Actifest
and were held in Kitchener, Ontario, in
1986. They unite participants 55 years and
older in a multi-sport environment to
celebrate active living. Their goal is to
promote this healthy life-style for seniors.
The District Games are held annually while
the Actifest Games were held in even
numbered years. There is a total of 41
Districts and we are in District 8.
18 Lodger March 2015
The first ever Winter Games were hosted
by Collingwood in 1999. District OSGA
winners in sanctioned events would
qualify to compete in Actifest in August
and Winterfest in February. July 2011, the
provincial committee changed Actifest to
Ontario Senior Games 55+ Summer
Games. They also changed the Winterfest
to Ontario Senior Games 55+ Winter
Games.
This year, the Winter Games was held in
the Haliburton and Minden area. There
were over 1000 amateur athletes
competing in 10 events. These include
hockey, alpine and Nordic skiing, curling,
prediction skating, badminton, duplicate
bridge, 10 pin bowling, table tennis and
volleyball. We were accommodated in
many hotels, motels, Bed & Breakfast's and
resorts in the area. This year we also
experienced a “Taste of the Highlands”
where 13 restaurants hosted us with local
food, beer and wine tasting, gallery
displays and entertainment.
A little history about the Cornwall
Blades and Alex
The Blades have a 15 member team. The
players are: Captain and Centre Alex with
forwards Brian Reasbeck, Geoff Smith, Earl
McBean, Terry Grant, Bill DeWit, Gary
Lalonde, Randy Connors and Leo Seguin.
Defence are Al Wagar, Louis Denis, Claude
Bourke, Harold McBride and Dave
MacDonald. Goalie is Dave Alguire and
their Coach is Gary Herrington. Medical
Arts Pharmacy is their sponsor.
By Stephanie Hill-Nicholls
The Pharmacy have generously paid for
two sets of sweaters, jackets, hats and golf
shirts for the team. They look very
professional when on and off the ice. Alex
grew up in a family of seven boys in their
home on the corner of First and Augustus
Streets in Cornwall, Ontario. He has
played sports since he was six years old
and continues to play weekly. The Bob
Turner Centre and Si Miller Arena were his
haunts for lacrosse, hockey and broomball.
Sounds like his Mom and Dad figured the
best way to keep all the boys busy was to
have them play sports.
A little ski history about me
I have been downhill skiing since high
school in Cornwall. The first hills I enjoyed
were Moon Valley (now Titus Mountain),
Tupper Lake outside Malone N.Y. and
Rigaud, Quebec. Those were the days of
the wrap-around-your boot strap. This
was to prevent your ski from beating you
down the hill in the event it came off. We
didn't have ski binding brakes then, either.
I have only been a recreational skier in the
past. I certainly enjoy the avant and après
ski social gatherings so am glad the Senior
Games 55+ has this event. I became
involved in the skiing competition when
my ski buddies, Graham and Linda
Vickers, advised me about this group. I coconvened a District 8 Summer Games
cribbage competition recently in Cornwall.
It is a great way to meet people and to
volunteer.
The District 8 Summer Games held later
this year in the Cornwall area will include
four handed bid euchre, bocce, carpet
bowling, contract bridge, cribbage, cycling,
darts, five pin bowling, shuffleboard, golf,
horseshoes, lawn bowling, pickleball, slopitch, swimming, tennis and prediction
walking. I will share the games schedule
with you as soon as it is printed. These are
the events you can enter for a small
participation fee. They are held locally for
one day. It can really be a lot of fun for you
to either help convene or participate. Gold
medal winners of these District Summer
Games are eligible to attend the Provincial
Summer Games in August 2016 in
Midland, Ontario.
For the active living senior who wants to
participate or volunteer this is the group to
join, you can visit the website
www.ontarioseniorgames.ca for more
information. You can also contact me about
a membership at: [email protected]

Men's Hockey
The team trained with 15 players. During
the competition three players were hurt
(Alex Herrington included) and one was a
no-show. If you do the math you can
calculate the team would have eleven
players including their goalie to compete.
Coach Gary and some wives were being
considered to “suit-up” for the team.
The Cornwall Blades, short handed cost
them their chance for gold.

A Note Of Thanks
meals more than others; like spaghetti,
lemon meringue pie and let's not forget
BLTs on Friday after having her hair done.
She truly enjoyed going to the dining room
and visiting with other residents who were
enjoying meals with their own respective
families. A special thank you to the many
volunteers who also contributed so much
to her entertainment and pleasure and in
particular those who assisted in meeting
her personal spiritual needs.
Mr. Norm Quenneville
A month ago my mother Laurette Kilger,
passed away comfortably and peacefully at
home; the Glen-Stor-dun Lodge. Our
family remains ever grateful to everyone
who cared for her with such compassion
and professionalism in her last days and
those memories will remain with us
forever. We certainly haven't forgotten nor
will we ever forget the many gestures of
kindness, courtesy and friendship
extended to her during her seven year stay
with you. It truly was home for her and for
us when we visited her. She was happy
and enjoyed the companionship of many
other residents who quickly became
friends. For my Mom, meals were a social
event of sorts. She looked forward to some
22 Lodger March 2015
In closing, please extend our heartfelt
thanks to your entire team/family at GSDL
who touched my mother's life and treated
her with such dignity and respect. I would
also like to take this occasion to say that as a
former Mayor, how very proud, I am of
GSDL for the aforementioned reasons and
many others like 'Meals on Wheels' and the
Day Away, program. Glen-Stor-Dun
Lodge stands as a bright light on the shores
of St. Lawrence River, welcoming and
supporting many of our elderly to a new
home full of love, commitment and
dedication. I miss my mother and I will
miss all of you.
Thank you and keep doing what you do so
well. You are making a difference!
Warm regards,

Brunhild with Purtzel
Born in the province of Lower Saxony in
Germany, Brunhild immigrated with her
parents to Canada in 1952. Growing up on
a farm in Vanleek Hill, Brunhild's fierce
love for nature and animals led her to draw
her favourite subjects at an early age. Now
her paintings in oil, acrylics, and
watercolour still reflects her first love.
They can also be found on the cover of
cookbooks, Dutch wooden shoes, and
exquisite birdhouses. Her personalized
porcelain plates and teapots for weddings
and birthdays have turned into family
heirlooms. Brunhild held her first solo art
show at Les Suites Hotel in Ottawa. In
1994, she was asked to show her paintings
for the International Women's Day at the
Department of National Defence
Headquarters in Ottawa.
Brunhild participated in the juried art show
in the Apples and Art Tour from 2006 to
2008. She will again join the tour in
Cornwall this coming September.
Currently, Brunhild is studying to
complete her Fine Arts Certificate at St.
Lawrence College in Brockville.

I used to be a Young One, too,
Who did the same things you now do.
I had places to go and people to see,
Someone I loved and that someone loved me.
I worked, I played, had fun in the sun,
Did things I shouldn't but, oh, it was fun!
Dressed casual or formal, to suit the occasion.
But I did have my life. I had dreams, hopes and
prayers,
Wonderful memories that still are there.
I was a Daughter, a Son, a Sister, or Brother.
Maybe I fell in love, became a Father or Mother.
Was probably an Aunt or Uncle, as well, Maybe
Gramma or Grampa with stories to tell.
I was once a real person with feelings of pride,
Even had a best friend, who stood by my side.
I'm more than this person you just can't wait to
leave.
Look beyond my aged face, and what do you see?
My heart, it still beats, and I'm warm to the touch.
I still feel emotions…oh, so very much!
So, don't come to see me and then walk away.
Remember, I am still a person, though I'm left here
to stay.
You used to come visit when my home was my
own;
What is the difference now I'm no longer alone?
Please tell me you'll visit more often now
Cuz you see, I am you, just older somehow.
Hold that thought in your mind, and never forget:
Though I sit here now, your turn will come yet.

Craig Smith's Passion in Culinary Art
Cooking is a not a chore for Craig but a
social experience and an entertaining
leisure activity. I would further surmise
that it is a therapeutic intervention for his
highly demanding work. Craig has a
healthy relationship with food. He grows
some of his vegetables like hot peppers to
make hot pepper sauce. He uses healthy
ingredients and experiments with a variety
of textures and tastes. A world traveler,
Craig is never shy from trying out cultural
dishes. Here is one of his favourites.
Spicy Thai Chicken Soup
(Tom Kha Gai)
Ingredients
Ÿ2 teaspoons canola oil
Ÿ1 cup sliced mushrooms (I use fancy
mushrooms like oyster mushrooms, but
you can use cremini mushrooms
instead)
Ÿ1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
Ÿ4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
Ÿ4 garlic cloves, minced
Ÿ1 (3-inch) stalk lemongrass, quartered
lengthwise
Ÿ2 teaspoons sambal oelek (ground fresh
chile paste) (available at most local
grocery stores in the foreign foods
section)
Ÿ3 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
Ÿ1 1/4 cups coconut milk (you can use
the light coconut milk if you are
watching your calories)
Ÿ4 teaspoons fish sauce (again available
in the foreign food section)
Ÿ1 tablespoon sugar
Ÿ2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
Ÿ1/2 cup green onion strips (cut in thin,
thin strips lengthwise)
Ÿ3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Ÿ2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Preparation
1. Heat a non-reactive saucepan over
medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.
Add mushrooms and the next 4
ingredients (through lemongrass); cook 3
minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chile
paste; cook 1 minute. Add Chicken Stock,
coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar; bring
to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; simmer
for 10 minutes. Add chicken to pan; cook 1
minute or until thoroughly heated. Discard
lemongrass. Top with onions, cilantro, and
juice.

Settling a cow case
A big-city lawyer was representing the
railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher.
The rancher's prize bull was missing from
the section through which the railroad
passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid
the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before
the justice of the peace in the back room of
the general store.
The attorney for the railroad immediately
cornered the rancher and tried to get him to
settle out of court. The lawyer did his best
selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to
take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and
took the check, the young lawyer couldn't
resist gloating a little over his success,
telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell
you this, old man, but I put one over on you
in there. I couldn't have won the case. The
engineer was asleep and the fireman was in
the caboose when the train went through
your ranch that morning. I didn't have one
witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you,
young feller, I was a little worried about
winning that case myself, because that
durned bull came home this morning.”

Agathe Jolicouer Wins the Inaugural
Sandbag Classic
Winners! From left at Third place Rita
Labrecque, Second June McCrimmon and
Champion Agathe Jolicoeur
It was a successful first time event that will
hopefully grow in the years to come. The
Sandbag Classic finally took place and it
was well received with good participation.
Over 30 sandbaggers took to the Tea room
floor to compete for top honors and the
chance to get their name engraved on the
plaque. After a close and spirited battle,
Agathe Jolicoeur emerged as the first ever
Champ with June McCrimmon and Rita
Labreque rounding out the top three
respectively. The women seemed to be at
their best when it mattered most for this
tournament. In all the event went very well
and the plaque will be displayed
somewhere in the Tea room for all to see.
Congratulations once again to Agathe and
to the rest of our competitors. We look
forward to next year's event!!

Our high score honors belonged to Hattie
Armstrong who mustered up a whopping
105 points in one single turn. Not bad
considering an average score usually runs
between 30-35 points.
February UNO
In a month where our Nativity Bowling
group was put on hold, I thought that I
would recap an UNO game that was hosted
by the 4th floor. Our regular group of ladies
came together for another barnburner of a
game. It was a tight match from start to
finish but in the end it was Kay Brisson's
day to shine. She put up a couple of zero's
to start the game and never looked back.
All of the scores seemed to be nice and low
across the board but Kay's 12 points would
have been tough to beat on any day of the
week. Here is a look at the final standings
until they meet up again:
Kay Brisson 12; Betty Greico 22; Yvonne
Paradis 31; Mavis Levac 35; Shirley Warner
40 and Lillian Butterfield 54.
